This stamp is "Solid"!

Sorry about the glare on this picture. My batteries were dying as I grabbed a last second, desperation shot! For Thursday's FREE make-and-take card, we are featuring a reverse image stamp by Memory Box. We are stamping it over printed paper to create a subtle texture in the background design.

When you're working with a solid image like this, it's best to use a pigment ink so that you get a nice even coverage. However, if you want something slightly less opaque, so that a hint of the design from the printed paper shows through, I recommend using the Colorbox Chalk ink (which is what Marilynn used here). It's still pigment, so the coverage is beautiful and even, but you can still get that subtle, textured appearance. Lovely, and it looks like you worked really hard - don't worry, I won't tell :-)

How To Find Us

Park on the side or rear of the Carpool building (do not park in the Comfort Inn lot). Enter the front of the building through the door with the "208" above it. Use stairs on left or elevator on right to go to the second floor. Walk all the way down the hall to suite 203. We are in the back of the building.
